you would do better building a tow generator. Get a 5 ft long
stainless bar that will fit a low pitch prop at the trailing end. The
bar has a ring to tie to a towing line. That line is attached to an
perm. magnet motor/generator. One of the best sources for a cheap perm
magnet motor is in old reel to reel recorders.

Or just buy one off the shelf.

Or get the hybrid d400 and have the best of both worlds - water towed, and
wind generator....

No, I've never seen one or had any direct feedback about its use. Just an
interesting concept...
